Little Tikes Turtle Sandbox - Outdoor Playset for Toddlers - Safe & Portable - Encourages Creative Play

During the hot weather I bought this for my 2 dogs to cool down. Wow best thing I’ve bought them. Great that the lid or turtle back comes off and keeps it covered. My neighbours little girl was in and out of the pool too having a great time. I can see how excellent it would be as a sand pit too for kids. But during our heatwave it was a god send for the dogs keeping them lovely and cool. So worth every penny for this item. I clean it out easily every few days or so as it gets grubby with the dogs and then the water goes on the garden. Only don’t do what I did last time and that is tip it up to empty the water out as the weight cracked the base open. Use a jug to empty into a bucket and then water your plants or into the drain. Definitely a Best Buy of the year item.

As a childminder, I purchased this item as sand-play is arguably one of the top 5 'musts' for fun, learning and development in early years. Initially I thought 'oh no, more plastic!' but after borrowing a friend's Little Tikes bouncy castle recently, I knew their products are tough and well made/designed. I have not been disappointed with this one. The pit holds plenty of sand, and this week legs have been buried, giving the authentic beach experience. There was enough comfortable space for a 5 and a 3 year old, and when the 1 yr old toddler joined there was a still a cosy - not cramped - feel about the play going on. Seats on the edge are a good idea, and serve the intended purpose. Yes, lid is a touch light and design could go a bit further to include clips of some description, but windy weather simply means that something will be put on top in the general tidying up process. HOWEVER, the best feature for me is that this sandpit allows water can practically be added into the mix! Sand and water go together like bread and butter - they are meant for each other. On our patio, water has been added to make rivers, moats, tides going in and tides going out, rock pools, mud pies and body covering. In no way could I imagine this going on with other sandpits on the Amazon list that only have an internal groundsheet or wood that needs to be treated annually (sorry, don't have time for that!). OK, water has to be drained away manually with cups and small containers, but hey - even I got carried away watching the sand and water making rivers and mini-lakes as I worked out how to fill each container-full with water... Very relaxing! Damp sand can then be dried off by leaving the lid off during the day (not the night due to cats etc). I have recommended this sandpit to parents I work with, and I recommend it to Amazon purchasers. Great value for money.

This little turtle box has been a welcome addition to our garden this year. Our two year old daughter has used it so much that if she never used it again we've still had our monies worth. Again like my other reviews this is an item that seems to vary greatly in price from £40 - £24, we bought it when down at £24. The quality appears strong and rigid, I originally wanted a wooden one as they looked 'posher' than these plastic monsters. However after lots of family and friends chucking their rotten and battered wooden frames away or complaining all the weeds come up through the ground mesh, I relented and bough this garish plastic one. So pleased I did, we are very happy. Don't buy your play sand from Amazon though, shocking high prices. The cheapest play sand is that big retailer famed for ordering through catalogue numbers then either home delivery or to your collection point please! Also discovered that play sand is so deliciously silky it lurks on patio slabs with the same evil thoughts as black ice!

The sand pit was very gratefully received by our almost three year old grandson and he is happy to play in it. It was only after he had finished and gone to bed and we had closed the sand pit that we noticed that the lid (the shell) is a different colour to the base. Looking carefully at the first picture on the Amazon page the two colours can be seen; but look down the page to the 'standout features' and you can see that the turtle shell is the same green as the base. Maybe the manufacturer has changed the colour of the lid for some reason; but in our opinion the two colours clash and spoil the look of the turtle now that the difference is so obvious. We wish we had never given away the plastic turtle used by our children many years ago, on which the lid was the same colour as the base! We had assumed this would be the same as our old one and did not look too carefully at the picture on Amazon before we bought it, but had seen the larger 'standout features' where the colours are the same. We cannot send it back, as our grandson loves it so much, but we are disappointed.

Really well made, sturdy, great size - our 18 month old twins both sit in it and have lots of room to move and have toys. It’s really great. It has two built in seats too. Once it’s filled with sand (I used 3 big bags) you won’t be able to move it, so choose a place carefully. Bear in mind that if placed on a lawn, all the grass underneath it will die. I bought some green ‘bungee cords’ (the ones with hooks on each end) and use those to hold the cover in place when not in use to keep the sand dry. Otherwise it’s a very loose fit and will blow away with the wind. Beware, slugs love to crawl inside where they die in the sand. Every time we open it we have to scoop out 3 or 4 slugs before the children can go in it.

This is a pricy product considering that the wooden frame type ones same size to this can be bought for half the price. But, I had one of those in the past and had ants and all sorts of creepy crawlies moving into it despite it was covered, they crawled in from the bottom. This turtle on the other hand, is fully closed when the lid is on, because it has a bottom and there are no gaps. I am very happy with this, no bugs or ants, just clean sand, the lid keeps cats and the rain out too, so sand is always dry, and the water doesn't pool on top of it like on the canvas covered sandpits. Had no issues in windy weather either, the lid stayed on. I highly recommend this product, since we bought it, I can safely let my toddler play in the sandpit without constantly watching and worrying what nasties he will find. This also saves on replacing the sand too often, because the sand really stays clean and dry. It is also easier to relocate than the wooden ones, we moved it to new location twice since we have it, without any issues. All in all, it's well worth the price we paid for this.

Good size, well made with a durable cover that fits well.

The sandbox is great. It is large. Three or four children can easily fit in while playing. The sandbox is made of very good material. The product is identical to the one on the amazon website.

I nipotini ne sono entusiasti. Il gioco preferito! Lo consiglio

お値段はそこそこでしたが、孫たちへのいいプレゼントになった。 公園の砂場遊びなんて、昭和の時代は当たり前だったが、自宅の庭にはこのカメの砂場遊びが適している。 水を入れて水遊びも出来るし、良いんじゃないでしょうか。

Wir sind begeistert von diesem hoch-qualitativen Sandkasten, der in England hergestellt wird. Es handelt sich also schon mal um keinen China Müll und der Kasten ist geruchsneutral. Das Plastik ist robust und fühlt sich angenehm matt an. Die grüne Schildkröte passt optisch super in das Gras bei uns im Garten. Wir haben ihn zu zwei Dritteln befüllt und zwar mit insgesamt 50kg Sand. Meines Erachtens reicht das vollkommen. Es gibt etwas unterschiedliche Schildkrötenmodelle von Little Tykes. Wir haben dieses gewählt, da es breite "Pfoten" hat, die auch gleichzeitug als Sitzgelegenheit dienen. Der Rand ist sonst unbequem und das Kind muss ganz im Kasten oder ausserhalb sitzen. Was super ist, ist dass kein Schmutz, Pflanzen und Ungeziefer sich im Sand einnisten kann, da der Sandkasten ja einen Boden hat. Man kann ihn deshalb bei Bedarf samt Sand verschieben. Der Kasten ist nicht riesig, aber aussreichend für 1 bis 2 kleine Kinder. Wenn wir mehr Platz möchten, so gehen wir sowieso auf den Spielplatz! Der Deckel ist ganz einfach zu bedienen und hält bis jetzt von alleine. Die nächtlichen Gartenbesucher auf weichen Samtpfoten werden also keine gelegenheit haben, den Sandkasten mit einem Katzenklo zu verwechseln! So, nun hoffe ich, dass diese Rezension Euch einen Überblick geben konnte, und Ihr Euch besser entscheiden könnt!
